Summary

A gain-of-function missense variant (rs72824905) in the PLCG2 gene substituting proline for arginine at position 522. This protective variant increases PLCγ2 enzymatic activity by ~30%, enhancing microglial immune signaling and amyloid clearance. Carriers have a significantly reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (OR ≈ 0.4), making it one of the strongest protective genetic factors.
